I have enjoyed putting together these “This Day in Braves History” moments while the league is shut down, but today’s event requires more than just a footnote. Today we are going back to June 19, 1991 in a game against the Philadelphia Phillies that saw Tom Glavine ejected for throwing at longtime Braves great Dale Murphy.
It was a wild sequence of events that unfolded over a two-week period that ultimately led to this moment. It started back on June 4, on none other than Dale Murphy Appreciation Night at Fulton County Stadium.
